And you can enter the code to any buffer (*scratch* buffer, for example), then put the point after the closing parent of the code part you want to evaluate and press C-x C-e (eval-last-sexp).

You can use `set-any-variable', from simple+.el to set any variable. http://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/simple%2b.el > You can also evaluate any code with M-: so this also works: > > M-: (setq variable ...)

In other words, you can use setq anywhen (although some extensions rely on certain variables being defined or undefined before loading).
